The Irish Naturalists' Journal is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that has published issues every year since 1925. It is unique in scope and content, covering all aspects of Natural History, and is the official journal of the established Irish field clubs. Academic institutions, Government bodies and Museums sponsor the journal.
This scientific journal publishes short papers and notes on a wide range of topics relating to the natural environment of Ireland, including botany (e.g. rare species, plant communities), zoology (e.g. invertebrates, fish, mammals, birds), geology (e.g. hard rock, quaternary, palaeontology), obituaries and book reviews. Additional occasional publications appear as Supplements to the main journal.
Authors include staff and researchers at universities and colleges, as well as members of field clubs and independent amateur naturalists. The Irish Naturalists' Journal is distributed to libraries throughout the world, as well as the contents being abstracted and quoted in other journals.

The "moving wall" represents the time period between the last issue
available in JSTOR and the most recently published issue of a journal.
Moving walls are generally represented in years. In rare instances, a
publisher has elected to have a "zero" moving wall, so their current
issues are available in JSTOR shortly after publication.
Note: In calculating the moving wall, the current year is not counted.
For example, if the current year is 2008 and a journal has a 5 year
moving wall, articles from the year 2002 are available.

Terms Related to the Moving Wall

Fixed walls: Journals with no new volumes being added to the archive.

Absorbed: Journals that are combined with another title.

Complete: Journals that are no longer published or that have been
combined with another title.
